Got a user with a third-party program that requires Outlook. Her workflow is that she opens the program, tells it to do its thing, then has it send out a confirmation email through Outlook. Ever since she got a new computer (a couple weeks or so) Outlook will pop-under the window for the new email rather than have it pop-up. This doesn't happen on the other new computer in that department with the same software and workflow.

Outlook is 2010 32-bit on 64-bit Win7 in both cases, talking to an IMAP/SSL and a SMTP/SSL server. Any suggestions on how to make it pop up? It's a minor thing, but she's one of those users.

Just so I understand the problem: the app (which is a separate EXE and not just an Outlook add-in?) gathers some information and then is supposed to invoke Outlook to bring up a compose mail window (ie, like what happens when you click on a mailto: link with Outlook registered as your default email handler) And in the past the compose mail window appeared on top of the app, but now it is loading lower in the z-order so it is hidden by the app window?

Assuming your links are correct (404 and a search result, and I followed the first result) apparently this hotfix is included in a later patch & thus doesn't apply to a fully-patched system, as this is.
